My newest series, “Positivity, with a Side of Snark” is very close to my heart. For the last few years, I’ve illustrated a lot of children’s books and kid-themed art. While I love that kind of work, this series was a chance to return to my roots – using the f-word in my art. Generally, …
Some of you may or may not know that I have been designing book covers for independent authors for over 10 years. It has been very interesting to see the wide range of interests and takes on life by the authors with whom I have worked. I have designed interiors and exteriors for everything from …

I often feel like I understand the mind of a young artist over the minds of most adults. And, as I have mentioned several times before, …

If you don’t live in Charleston, you may not know it, but the Spoleto and the Piccolo Spoleto festivals are a pretty big deal.
